A translation of Jackie Chan's blog entry at sina.com.cn


My assistant just passed fan and friend messages from my blog over to me. I was already in tears halfway through these comments...

I'd never expect to see so much words of encouragement. You've all kept me deeply touched. Thanks!

I apologize for being unable to answer comments from over a million people. So I'd like to thank everyone who has taken concern over my family over the years.

Thanks for being there for me when I am in need of comfort and encouragement.

Don't worry, everybody! With your support for me, my father will feel at ease in heaven. Just as everyone has said to me, "Death is only the end of a journey in this dimension of the world. They'll stay with us in another form to give us strength!"

This pain I feel from losing a beloved one only makes me realize the meaning of happiness and the meaning of life. In the happier moments to come, I will never forget to look into the clouds so I can let my parents look at me from the heavens above and let them continue to be proud of me!

I hope we can learn an example from my father and face the trivials of life with a smile!

I hope my father and mother can remain in joy and happiness in another world!

To show my gratefulness for everyone's love and support, I've gathered some photos of my father so we can all share some of these fond memories together.

I remember seeing Jackie's father in person.
I was sitting front row at a charity concert in the Skydome (now Rogers Centre) in Toronto. I realized that I was sitting just a row behind his father. Pretty big fella too. Woulda spoke to him but my Mandarin was kinda rusty.

Pretty sad moment for Jackie Chan to deal with, but honestly I was kinda surprised his father was still alive untill just now. May he rest in peace.
